I like saying I am a son of an iron and glass craftsman.
I did train in the art of wood through the ebony school laboratories to my parents workshop, experimenting and manipulating the raw material, always curious of the fascinating and meaningful process of making things.
I try to convey an idea with few signs and few colours: I love white and black, traditional materials and the “subtraction” as a design methodology.
I love pure forms and I am inspired by the 60`s for the positive feeling of those years.
I like technology which should not be openly revealed, but intrinsic to a project.
I listen to silence with pleasure and I call myself a “slow addict” in its full meaning.
I like giving shape to materials without forcing its nature but going along with it and making obvious its potential.
I hope to raise curiosity and give pleasure to whoever is using my products which I hope they are true and intelligent ….or better wisely true.
